Refugee Support

“Every individual who is given a way out and offered a different, brighter future becomes part of a changing story.” — President David Turpin

Since its founding in 1908, the University of Alberta has committed to “uplifting the whole people,” a promise that transcends individual scholarship and discovery and reflects the role our students, faculty, staff and alumni have in building communities and leaders locally and globally. The U of A is a driver of personal and social transformation; as such, we offer a range of supports to help immigrant and displaced refugees study here and overcome economic, social and political hardship.

President's Award for Refugees and Displaced Persons Fund

The President’s Award for Refugees and Displaced Persons Fund will cover the cost of tuition and living expenses for up to 10 undergraduate or graduate Syrian students, admitted to the U of A as early as January 2016.
